Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

That thing looks pretty cool. I think I remember Jeff Geerling video where he did something similar. The concept is cool, but that many NVME drives that close will get HOT without active cooling. The other things is I assume they would saturate the PCIe bus way faster than an x86 mobo.
I'm not hating tho, I'm kinda jealous. I have 3 PI 4s and 2 of them boot off a NVME via USB. The third one has a compute module 1 on it so it has dedicated non-volatile memory. I've been thinking about netboot. I use them as a docker swarm.
